1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) have gained attention for their safety and efficacy, especially in clinical trials involving primary open-angle glaucoma. However, real-world data on pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEX glaucoma) remain limited. To our knowledge, this is the first real-world study comparing postoperative outcomes of Kahook Dual Blade Excisional Goniotomy (KDB) or trabecular aspiration (TA) in PEX glaucoma. Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of combined clear cornea cataract extraction with either KDB or TA in patients with PEX glaucoma. Design: A retrospective analysis. Methods: We reviewed 113 eyes from 99 patients who underwent cataract surgery combined with either KDB ( Results: The mean patient age was 80.5 ± 7.3 years for KDB and 80.4 ± 7.7 years for TA, Conclusion: Both KDB and TA with cataract extraction lowered IOP in PEX glaucoma. However, KDB was associated with a higher rate of additional surgical interventions to achieve adequate IOP control.
